About Me

Folk & Jazz fan, specialising in vinyl restoration.
Although I would prefer to only post albums that I have paid for, or those of close friends, I am open to suggestions and offers of rare Folk items that need tender care and restoration, provided the supplier has the right of ownership of the physical item. NOT JUST an MP3 COPY of it.
To give you an idea, I am prepared to restore vinyl belonging to another person, IF I receive a decent quality scan of the front, back and any relevant information that comes with the LP, preferably at least 2400 by 2400 quality, (600DPI scans for back) along with the sound files in FLAC format as waves are a bit too large to transfer.
Then I will check their suitability for restoration.
I try to maintain the requirement for a decent set of scans for each item, where possible, as I feel the music is incomplete without it. Sometimes this is just not possible as a lot of my stock came from broadcasting organisations that had their own heavy card sleeves, with information relevant to their prime function, that of providing the disc-jockies with basic details to pass on to listeners. I do wonder what happened to all the original artwork?

Hello! I leave a comment in other blog where you are http://australianfolk.blogspot.com/

With a couple of friends, we decided to create a fórum: Musica del Mundo fórum.

Is a non-profit project that wants to rescue the ethnic and folk music around the world. If you want to register, is totally free (you can change the language once you get registered). Or if you want to put our link, will be nice too.Thanks!Greetings from Argentina

Hi from CyThank you for this. Archie was in there at the beginning of the revival and is still to the forefront today.I used The Corries version of Twa Corbies when workshopping balads through drama and am looking forward to hearing this version. Bert Jansch also has the ability to convey the power of the ballad.Essential listening from 1965 when the music ruled A1OK.Cy from Portknockie.
